From Ogundele Olanrewaju

The Super Eagles of Nigeria have been drawn in Group D of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.

At the draw held at CAF headquarters in Cairo Thursday, three-time African champions Nigeria were thrown in the same pool as Tanzania, Comoros and Sudan.

The qualifiers – scheduled to begin later this year – will mar a fresh start for the Eagles after their failure to qualify for the 2022 World Cup holding in Qatar.
